steering group for the pcos psp

The James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership (JLA PSP) for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a collaborative initiative dedicated to identifying the most pressing research priorities for this common yet often misunderstood condition. Central to the success of this project is the Steering Group, alongside key partner organisations that bring expertise, advocacy, and a shared commitment to improving the lives of those affected by PCOS.

Our Steering Group is made up of a diverse team of individuals, including patients with lived experience, healthcare professionals, researchers, and representatives from leading organisations. This group provides strategic oversight, ensuring that the voices of all stakeholders are heard and that the process is inclusive, transparent, and impactful.
​
Each member of the Steering Group brings unique expertise and perspective, reflecting the varied experiences and challenges faced by the PCOS community. Together, they guide the JLA PSP through each stage of the process, from survey design to priority setting.
